Cue erase function (erasing cue signals)
Cue signals (external control signals) recorded on the disc can
be erased without affecting the tracks.
w
Track erase function (for erasing specific tracks)
An entire track, from beginning to end, can be erased
instantaneously simply by operating buttons. Unlike tapes,
there is no need to record over, erase, or cut the tape.
